Okay, either I'm an idiot or the implementation of exocraft is beyond loving stupid.

I finally get the blueprints to build a loving car after like 25 hours into the game. So I build the pad and get my rover and do a bunch of quests with the terminal tech to get all the upgrades for it (which, a few bugs aside, was mostly mats I had on hand anyway). But apparently while there's a "summon exocraft" quick menu option, it only works if you're already within a relatively short range of it, and you can't summon it on another planet. So you can only drive the goddamn things in the vicinity of where you built the pad, which is not cheap and is not portable. So in this game where you are required and encouraged to fly all across the galaxy visiting a multitude of different star systems, the ground transport is effectively tied to a small radius around a single point on a single planet? I was kind of assuming/hoping that one of the upgrades you can get is a "summon me anywhere" module, but I seem to have gotten to the end of that chain without getting that.

Am I taking crazy pills here? Are exocraft really almost entirely useless?

before NEXT you used them primarily on the planet you built a base on for quick resource gathering and exploring and such

can't imagine it's too different in NEXT

So just found out that the freighter questline is a little more involved. After you get your freighter you need to talk to the navigator who should give you a quest to build the command center. Apparently you also need to go inspect the frigate to start a secondary quest to inspect it and learn the recipe for fuel.

This only works or triggers on the system you took possession of your freighter. So if you missed it and don’t remember there’s apparently no way at all to learn that stupid recipe.

So yeah, that’s a fun thing to learn now.

hahaha gently caress. am i boned if i didn't get the free one? jesus

new bug, unless it's just a dumb thing and someone can help me fix it:

i bought a new freighter, but it replaced the ship i traveled in on with the broken ship i left on a planet's surface. it won't let me summon my nice, working ship onto the freighter and i don't have the raw materials to repair the broken ship

am i hosed. do i just live on this freighter now

How much of a pain is it to edit a save file? Is there any risk of breaking the save completely? Is there any risk of it affecting multiplayer stuff? What save editor do I use?

I really just want to get rid of the worthless ships I picked up before I found out how the ship stuff worked

god i forgot how to loving make money in this game and am perpetually poor despite being like 7-8 hours into a brand new playthrough

any tips that arent just "raise your rep with races so that you can take on missions and get space money"? is it really just "fly through space a lot and hope you get to a system with s class scanner upgrades and maybe some high quality scavenger poo poo underground"?

do you stand outside of venues for bands you dont like and yell at the people going in about how much the band they like sucks

just seems like you could be way more productive with this weird energy instead of harshing other people's mellow

If you think discussing a game in a video game discussion forum is the same thing as standing outside a music venue yelling at strangers, then I am going to challenge the idea that you have actually gone outside and been to musical venue to see a band perform.

Questioning people's opinion or perspective on something is completely normal in a discussion forum. Goddamn people are so touchy the moment someone goes in on something they like, regardless of how dumb it is. Like, take your own advice, don't you have anything better to do than to get defensive over someone criticizing a video game online?

the two of you are literally writing multi-paragraph posts in this thread trying to convince people that the game they are having fun with is actually not fun and is actually bad, that makes you an rear end in a top hat :)
